		<description><![CDATA[The Raven
I&#8217;ve been meaning to do this for a while.  Capture some stories that I like on audio.  This one&#8217;s pretty good for a quick pass.  I look forward to improving both production quality and reading.  But it&#8217;s fun to have read one of my favorite poems and captured it for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here is an interesting article.  It feels like it might be subject to some (selection?) bias, but the outcome appeals to my sensibility. Key sentiment is below:
My research revealed that lucky people generate good fortune via four basic principles. They are skilled at creating and noticing chance opportunities, make lucky decisions by listening to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s about 2 weeks late, but I&#8217;ve been blogging (quite irregularly, obviously) for 5 years now.
Most of my stuff goes on twitter now.  Automatically posted in turn to facebook (and to a side-bar in this blog).  Anyway, happy belated, self-congratulatory, anniversary to me and my writing.

		<description><![CDATA[I first saw this (or something very much like it) on a poster in an admin&#8217;s office in Altoona.  It struck a chord with me, and I went looking for it tonight.  This isn&#8217;t the exact version I remember, and I can&#8217;t find attributions for it.  But it&#8217;s a good reminder for [...]]]></description>

We have about a 15 (adult) minute walk from the flat to the Brighton train station. From there, it&#8217;s a little under an hour to London, St. Pancras. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Sam,
I’m writing this to you on my 38th birthday.  This morning when I got you up out of your crib, you asked, “What day is today?”  I replied, “Monday.”  Then you said, “It’s Mommy’s birthday!  Happy Birthday, Mommy!”  And you gave me a hug.
Best. Birthday. Present. Ever.

Dad and I are a few weeks late with this newsletter.  You (and the people we share this letter with) will have to forgive us:  your 28th month was a difficult one—not because of you, but because this past month saw the death of a longtime family member:  our beloved kitty [...]]]></description>

Still, it&#8217;s a bit of a trip to run across.  OK, I didn&#8217;t really &#8220;run across&#8221; it &#8212; he forwarded it to me.  But there you go. [...]]]></description>

Sam: I met a blue jay once at my house in California. He sat in my seat.
Dad: He sat in your car seat?
Sam: No, I sat in my car seat. He sat next to me. And a birdie sat next to me.
Dad: Isn&#8217;t a blue jay a type of bird?
Sam: And the blue jay said [...]]]></description>
